To crack his brains and to
pull out limb by limb

Some workable solutions
seemed to have seeped through
But like the bent branches some
crimped back from the efforts
and they snapped
The grass was greener and the
stones were polished shiny
but always on the other side
His mind was cluttered very much
like an overlapping season to mess
his thinking process
He had no recourse but to proceed
There was nothing to be cautious
about but to weave in and out
between the branches
Hopefully the psychic disconnect
could be resolved and the strange
yellowish hues could be green again.
